Allergic to bees? :stretcher: Good to have when detecting

[Sgt. Silverman]

Just a quick bit of information to all; I recently got into beekeeping and will be getting my first hive in the spring. (Hopefully) So, in preparation for the spring, I had heard that there is a coupon for Free Epipens. (A smart thing to have handy when being a beekeeper). I called my PCP today, asked for a prescription over the phone and they called it into CVS. I printed off this coupon here and received my Free Epipens this evening.

So, not sure if any of you are allergic to bees but these folks are offering free epipens until the end of December of this year. (Note: I had to use my regular insurance card, but was able to get the $0 co-pay on the auto injectors) Definitely a good thing to have when detecting, regardless if you're allergic or not., as you may may run across someone who might be.

Have a Blessed week everyone.

if one is in that situation. When out in the wilds detecting and one gets stung it sure would be helpful. Thanks for the heads up ! Steve in so la

Will stick to doing maple syrup for a while. Could have had a hive of bees for you this fall while detecting we found a big comb full of bees on the ground that fell from a tree.

Went to the website and did the mini test and found that no one who gets Medicare or Medicaid qualifies for the discount card.

Will have to check this out with our insurance and the local Meijer store. Would be great to have when beach detecting, just in case someone needed it.
I always wanted to try out bee keeping but I don't believe our township will allow it. Although I do know that one of my neighbors did it back in the 70's. He would take the honeycomb to a friend that would run it through a centrifuge for him. He said it was the best honey he ever had. Keep us posted on how it goes.

the sting and it will pull out the poison. An old guy I knew worked to kill rattle snakes during the depression. He said cotton pickers that got snake bit put chewing tobacco on the bite, tied it off and kept on picking.
